In 2018, Gearbox said it had been working on something around Brothers in Arms for quite some time. Today, we learn that it is on the television side that the license will go for a spin.
Indeed, Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, announced the adaptation of the license to our colleagues from Hollywood Reporter https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/brothers-arms-tv-series-works-1291722, who relay the information. At the helm of the series, we will find Scott Rosenbaum
The story we ended up using was never dramatized on television. Nearly 800 American soldiers were killed and it had to be covered because the Allies were preparing for the real invasion of Normandy. What I liked and had never seen before was that we were exploring (the journey) of German soldiers and civilians, as well as that of commanders on both sides. We meet all these real personalities and see their impact on the big picture that is emerging. We found an angle that is really original, and we have a very different way of looking at it compared to other war series, says Scott Rosenbaum
.
The production of the series has obviously not yet started, but the search for directors has already started. As a result, we will not have no casting information, the latter not yet having been constituted. As a reminder, Brothers in Arms Furious 4 should have been the last title in the franchise, but the latter was canceled by Ubisoft, then rights holder, in 2015.
